Healthy Buildings: Beyond Four Walls

When we think of buildings, we often focus on their physical structures and aesthetics. But truly healthy buildings go far beyond brick and mortar. They encompass a holistic approach that prioritizes the well-being of occupants. In essence, healthy buildings aim to create environments that promote physical, mental, and social health. Let’s dive deeper into a few key components:

5 Realities of Digital Buildings

Digital buildings are transforming the ways in which we interact with the built environment—driving efficiency, sustainability, and enhanced occupant experiences. However, achieving these benefits is often more complex than it appears.

In this post, I present five key realities you need to be aware of when embarking on your digital building journey. These are based on lessons I learned over 15 years, designing and implementing a digital building program across a global portfolio of commercial real-estate.

By leveraging AI-powered tools and embracing digital maturity, businesses can unlock new levels of efficiency, innovation, and sustainability in the built environment.

Leveraging AI for Efficiency and Innovation in the Built Environment

AI is not just a buzzword in the construction and building management industry – it’s a transformative force. By leveraging AI-powered tools and embracing digital maturity, businesses can unlock new levels of efficiency, innovation, and sustainability in the built environment.

Decarbonization is Booming, But BAS is Critical for Success

Decarbonization is Booming, But BAS is Critical for Success

The decarbonization movement is here to stay, changing how we design, operate, and maintain buildings. The BAS is critical to the success of this transition, and BAS professionals who can deliver comprehensive solutions will be in high demand. By embracing this opportunity and adapting to the changing landscape, we can help create a more sustainable future for the built environment.

Occupancy Controls

Occupancy-Based Controls: The Smarter Way to Energy Efficiency and Comfort

Occupancy-based controls are a powerful tool for transforming buildings into intelligent and responsive spaces. By leveraging advanced technologies and data analytics, OBCs optimize energy consumption, enhance occupant comfort, and contribute to a more sustainable future. Embracing OBCs is not just a smart choice, it’s a responsible one, paving the way for a greener and more efficient world.

Reimagining Smart Buildings: The Case for Breaking Down Silos

In a lively July 2024 discussion on Monday Live, industry experts delved into the complexities of integrating building silos, exploring the potential of various applications and the challenges of interoperability. The conversation centered on creating a matrix to assess the relevance of different building systems for various applications, sparking debate about the scoring system and revealing the vast, untapped potential of integrated building data. The discussion highlighted the need for open, accessible data and affordable integration solutions to drive innovation and ultimately transform the smart building landscape.

ACCURACY in Estimating

A large contractor could be losing hundreds of billable hours a day across their workforce due to delivering service work that should have been billed separately, or in addition to the current project. Bidtracer generates multiple quotes quickly from the field, within the app in real time, so you’ll never lose track of all those one-off billable hours.
